A globally declining endemic under pressure: effects of habitat and climate change on Citril Finches in the Bavarian AlpsNARA Subscribed
The ongoing global biodiversity loss is a major challenge of our time. It affects all groups of organisms, but is particularly well documented in birds. The Citril Finch Carduelis citrinella , one of the few bird species endemic to Europe, is one example currently suffering from substantial population declines. We here set out to document its population development over the past 14 years (records in 2011 and 2025) in a part of...
Quantifying animal movements is necessary for answering a wide array of research questions in ecology and conservation biology. Consequently, ecologists have made considerable efforts to identify the best way to estimate an animal's home range, and many methods of estimating home ranges have arisen over the past half a century. Most of these methods fall into two distinct categories of estimators that have only recently been d...
The AD 365 and the AD 1303 tsunamis are known extreme wave events that caused severe damage and fatalities along the coastlines of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. We analysed geomorphological and sedimentological data from the Korission Lagoon (Corfu Island, Greece) and compared them with results of numerical simulations. Washover fans and sediment cores reveal coarse-grained high-energy deposits intersecting prevailing lagoona...
The Mediterranean is particularly sensitive to rapid climate changes (RCCs) during the Holocene. An increasing number of natural climate archives revealed that socio‐economic developments were influenced by such RCCs since the Palaeolithic. However, multi‐millennial and high‐resolution archives are still rare and often located in mountainous regions, where they do not represent environmental conditions close to human settlemen...

Pelagic sharks target long‐lived, retentive anticyclonic eddies in the Northwest Atlantic OceanNARA Subscribed
Open ocean ecosystems represent the largest habitat on Earth and are highly dynamic in time and space. Mesoscale eddies are a primary driver of this variability and serve a key structural role in ocean ecosystems. Eddies modulate marine biodiversity beyond their impacts on plankton, influencing many ecologically and commercially important predators that may preferentially occupy anticyclonic eddies. However, how animal‐eddy in...
Aim The historical origins of biota in the Sunda Shelf region of Southeast Asia represent a long‐standing contentious issue in evolutionary biology. However, there is still no general agreement on the key factors driving the region's high species diversity and endemism in both plants and animals. Here, we inferred the evolutionary history of a small‐sized orchid radiation from the tropical rainforests (TRFs) of Sundaland and a...
Extreme physical-oceanographic events, such as marine heatwaves, fluvial floods, droughts and storm surges, have major impacts on local communities, economic sectors and ecosystems, and their frequency, intensity and duration increase due to climate change. There is a lack of understanding of the systemic drivers of extreme events as well as of their interconnected impacts on estuarine and coastal ecosystems. This knowledge is...
